To answer your question, mwedzi, an engineering degree is worthwhile in and of itself only if you really really like working as an engineer. A lot people with BS engineering degrees go on to MBAs, true, because they like managing better than creating/maintaining. A lot do stay and work as engineers, or go on for higher degrees in engineering. It honestly depends on what you like. Honestly, I despise the engineering curriculum, but I
loved my summer experiences working as a Process Engineer. I could never teach or do research, I realize...but I relish troubleshooting a process and finding ways to improves processes.
Ultimately, whatever floats one's boat. Go for an engineering degree if you want to work as an engineer or work up through management in an engineering-based company, but don't go for engineering just for the dollars. That's the wrong way to go.
